 The compositions of the JOURNAL AND COURIER and Palladium spent the merrlest day of their lives Saturday last as they min gled with nature on the green fields at Pawson Park and sported about. It was the I typos first annual jubilee day.
 A crowd of twenty or more young men ! stood on the west end of Tomlinson bridge l at o'clock last Saturday morning and in ! duIged in very mysterious whisperlngs as I they eyed small basket which lay on the | ground The young men were the typeset- ters of the above mentioned papers and the
 basket, with tightly fastened down lid, be-
 ionged to Reporter Kelley of the Palladium. It was at first suggested that it contained
 can of dynamite, as suspicious looking | jar was plainly perceptible through hole in the lid. The basket was not a new one. MT. Kelley, who is whole souled, genial and ! ever popular young man, dispelled all fears by proclaiming that the basket containe d nothing more or less than "grub" and the jar was filled with milk, and nothing else. The Palladiumite had not partaken of his morning repast. so great was his anxiety that he might get left on the dock, and, practical man that he is, he carried it wit him.
 The chief typo of each paper, after all fears about the basket had b cen dispelled, gathered his flock about him as chieftaln gathers his clan, the roll was called and the
 iubilant typos stepped aboard the trim and
 fast little Yale launch and under blue sky
 and bright sun the trip down the harbor
 was spent by the learned typos in discussing ologies of many kinds, anthrop ology, biolo- py. geology, physics, chemistry, mathemati- cal science and statistics. Some people think typos are unlearned, but we hops this idea
 will now be dispelled. The trip down the
 harbor was spent very pleasantly.
 Arrived at the park the disembarkation
 took but few moments and grand rush
 was made for the base ball field. There were but few people stirring. Some of them, however, thought the park had been taken possession of by the Association for the Advancement of American Science which was out for frolic. Others thought they might be crowd of young millionaires or bankers. But one wise but meek-eyed agrl- culturist, who intently surveyed the knights of the composing stick, remarked to hls pet ter half, who stood by:
 "Lucindy, VOW if them air fellows amt city chaps come down here to play bas ball."
 He spoke the truth. A game of base ball
 was to be played, and such game as Ten Thousand Dollar Kelly might be proud of By good luck, kind nature, an everwatchlng Providence, or what you will, the Palladium ties came to bat first. Captain Israel Jacobs of the COURIER typos had on the trip down hoped in his innermost heart that his nine's opponents would first wield the ash. He hoped by giving them some of his Tim Keefe curves he would so worry them that they would fall like the leaves of autumn. He gave them his curves and the Palladium batters were soon weary, very weary Reporter Wells, of the Palla- dium, had the misfortune to be chosen um- pire. MT. Wells admitted that he knew naught of base ball and much less of um- piring, but he umpired-and such umpir- ing! The Courierites came to bat and made several runs at once. Their prowess was easily discernible and the umpire became disheartened. He wanted the Palladium nine to win. A COURIER reporter disputed his decisions, and the umpire climbed tree and got on limb. Poor fellow, he admitted he was in the wrong and soon treaty of peace was made by the choosing of new umpire. Captain Jacobs, of the COURIER nine, made a three-base hit which shivered the bat and brought in two men. MT. Gleason, of the same nine, made an error in the second inning by falling asleep on first base, but he AI eo, &lo 1rA1 by making a home run and bringing home four men who were on the bases and the right fielder, Reporter Mar, who put the um- pire to flight. Catcher Bald win covered himself with glory.
 Men and women who are very thin can never understand why it is that people who are blessed with lots of flesh usually look upon it as great calamity and are always experimenting with some plan to relieve themselves of avoirdupois tissue, but if they saw Typo Pierce of the Palladium try to run bases Saturday it would be understood at once. The COURIER came to the front by winning the game after most unique, origi- nal, exciting and long to be remembered con test. The hines were conglomerated as fol- lows:
 CoUR1ER-BaIdwin c, Jacobs p, Opperts- hauser 1b, Dearborn 2b, Works 3b, Ottarson s g., Mar l f, Gleason f.
 Palladium Culver p, Clark c, Dobson 1b, N4AAAeI SDJ DIOChoLG oo1 Ao1Aoy oo, AAohoy II, Ryder If, Pierce of.
 The game lasted until 12:30 when an ad- journment was taken to Frink's, at Stony Creek, where sumptuous shore dinner was served. It sounded right down jolly, too, to hear the men who had labored all the night before, in order that the New Haven public mightSread the news of the day, singing song after song, giving toasts and bandying jokes and telling jocose stories. As matter of course dinner was of the very best and alto gether it was most jovial affair, and the typos who participated will long remember it | for the jollity and fun which prevailed.
